Lot Essay

'Durham is nobler in many ways, but a change one regrets is slowly coming over all these ruddy North of England towns. Whenever a tiled roof falls in or gets worn out, it is replaced by slate, the result of being cold grey instead of a pleasant, warm Venetian red'. (Diary).
A similar view was sold in these Rooms on 5 November 1993, lot 402.
